ILPA Best Practices

The Institutional Limited Partners Association (ILPA) strives to improve the global
private equity industry through the establishment of industry best practices. These
best practices seek to provide consistency, standardization, benchmarks, and
structure in order to allow for better investment returns and a more sustainable
private equity industry.

The ILPA has developed a set of Best Practices which help to provide this
standardization including:

ILPA Private Equity Principles
Standardized Reporting Templates

The ILPA Private Equity Principles

The ILPA Private Equity Principles (Principles) were developed to encourage
discussion between Limited Partners (LPs) and General Partners (GPs) regarding
fund partnerships. They outline a number of key principles that will further partnership
between these two groups.

The ILPA believes that there are three guiding principles which form the essence of
an effective private equity partnership:

o Alignment of Interest
o Governance
o Transparency

The Principles are built around the improvement of these three key tenets.

These preferred private equity terms and best practices may inform discussions
between each GP and its respective LPs in the development of partnership
agreements and in the management of funds. However, the ILPA recognizes that a
single set of terms cannot provide for the broad flexibility of market circumstance.

The ILPA does not seek the commitment of any LP or GP to any specific terms. They
should not be applied as a checklist, as each partnership should be considered
separately and holistically.
Standardized Reporting Templates
The adoption of these reporting guidelines will serve several purposes, including, but
not limited to:
o Enabling the LP to interpret and account for a transaction accurately
o Reducing LP and GP processing times and ultimately reducing monitoring
costs
o Improving LP-GP communications in regards to an investments status and
thereby minimizing required follow-up questions
o Enabling GP compliance with legal terms in documentation
Included in this package is the latest version of the Capital Call and Distribution
Notice Best Practices template. This package has been updated to include extensive
input from both General and Limited Partners, accountants and legal professionals.
The Quarterly Reporting Package is the second standardized template in the series;
released seperately in 2011. This package includes Best Practices around financial

statements, and requirements for best-in-class reporting of underlying holdings and
portfolio metrics.

information contained in reports provided in connection with investments. The Standardized Reporting
Template reflects the view of the participants involved in the creation thereof as to best practices with

Templates as a substitute for its own determination as to what information such limited partner will need or
desire with respect to any particular investment. Further, no representation is made that the Standardized
Reporting Templates, when provided by general partners to their investor base, will include all desirable
information or will be fully inclusive of all information needed for any limited partner to effectively monitor its
investments.

SECTION I
OVERVIEW

ILPA BEST PRACTICES OVERVIEW


ILPA Standardized Reporting

As a fiduciary, Limited Partners are faced with the need for increased transparency
and reporting in order to inform and guide their Boards, Trustees, Portfolio Managers
and Risk Departments. Investors repeatedly make inquiries of the General Partners
needing further detail into their investments.

The ILPA has been working to develop a suite of standardized reporting templates
that will help to regulate reporting in the private equity industry. This is part of the
ILPAs efforts to generate greater industry efficiencies, improve uniformity and
transparency, and reduce expenses in administering and monitoring private equity
investments.

Capital Call & Distribution Notice (the notice or CC&DN)

The CC&DN serves as the GPs announcement of a required transfer of capital
between itself and its LPs. From the perspective of the LP, the notice serves as the
basis upon which to carry out its initial monitoring and fiduciary reporting duties. The
following guidelines are intended to enhance an LPs understanding of how its capital
is being allocated, while allowing a GP to efficiently manage its cash flow
requirements. Core contents of an effective Quarterly Reporting Package include (but
are not limited to):

o Cover Letter
o Notice
o Data Template

These guidelines are issued in the spirit of the three guiding ILPA Principles:
Alignment of Interest, Governance and Transparency.

Capital Call / Distribution Template

After extensive consultation with GPs, LPs and third-parties, Institutional Limited
Partners Association has developed generic reporting templates to cover capital calls
and distribution notices as a starting point from which other templates can be
evolved. This standardization is not intended to modify the provisions of existing
LPAs, as the majority of these reporting guidelines have been derived from the
current best practices of a cross-section of GPs.

The adoption of these reporting guidelines will serve several purposes, including, but
not limited to:

o Enabling the LP to interpret and account for a transaction accurately
o Reducing LP and GP processing times and ultimately reducing monitoring costs
o Improving LP-GP communications in regards to an investments status and
thereby minimizing required follow-up questions
o Enabling GP compliance with legal terms in documentation

The Capital Call and Distribution Notice templates are part of a set of suggested
reporting guidelines that will evolve over time. Other key documents, such as the
partners capital statement, financial statements and portfolio updates will be
captured in the other Best Practices releases.

The ILPA recognizes that some GPs may wish to disclose additional information
beyond what is included in these reporting guidelines. There is no intention by the
ILPA to limit such disclosure.


SECTION II
CAPITAL CALL & DISTRIBUTION NOTICE
PACKAGE GUIDELINES

ILPA BEST PRACTICES Guidelines

Core Business Guidelines

The accounting transaction perspective should take precedence on how cash
flows are categorized:

o GPs should present the information from an accounting perspective,
consistent with how the transaction will ultimately be accounted for within
a funds records; If estimates were provided in an earlier notice, a
reconciliation of those estimates to actual flows should be provided in a
subsequent CC&DN.
o Sufficient detail should be provided to allow for the appropriate
accounting of transactions at the underlying portfolio company level.

Cumulative cash flow metrics should be reconcilable to all CC&DNs:

The following LP-level and total fund-level balances, both prior to and after the
current transaction, should be included in all CC&DNs, regardless of whether the
current transaction has an impact on those balances:
o Unfunded commitment
o Cumulative contributions, including all deemed/notional amounts
o Cumulative distributions, including all deemed/notional amounts

Notice Content & Transparency:

The following calculations and details should be provided in all applicable CC&DNs:
o Itemized detail of the investment names represented in the CC&DN,
including the individual amounts corresponding with each investment
name
o Management fee details, including calculations, offsets and cumulative
balances
o Waterfall details, including calculations, escrow balances and potential
clawback totals
o With each distribution, the GP should disclose the exact amount of carry
taken and provide a build-up to carry calculation
o LPs share of the fund, as a percent of aggregate commitments
o For GPs that issue customized, single-LP CC&DNs, both aggregate fund
amounts and the GPs share of each amount (including and excluding
any LP interests that the GP may represent) should be provided
o Itemized detail of all fees (e.g., transaction, financing, monitoring,
management, redemption, etc.) generated by the GP
o Clear references to specific/relevant sections of the LPA
o Detailed payment instructions should be included (e.g. bank information,
contact information, etc.)

Application of Guidelines:
In an effort to illustrate how the above guidelines may be applied, ILPA has
developed the attached standardized templates. They have been designed to contain
sufficient detail so as to minimize errors in processing by LPs as well as to be flexible
enough for use by both Funds and Fund-of-Funds with a variety of structures,
including:
o Closed/Open Ended Funds
o Separate Accounts
o Co-Investments
o Strategic Relationships


These templates are intended to accommodate all sub-asset classes typical of the
private equity market. They are also constructed to allow GPs to provide sufficient
detail for both cash and stock distributions.

Capital Call and Distribution Notice Cover Letter Guidelines

Date of Notice: 1/1/2011

Date Due: [if Call] 1/10/2011

Investment Fund II, L.P. (the Fund) is calling $#### as a net contribution for an investment,
management fees and expenses, offset by a cash distribution. Please refer to the attached Schedule
for a breakdown of the components of the amount, and to the narrative below for a description of
the components referred to in this notice.

Your portion of the call is $1,750,000. After this notice, you will have contributed 40% of your
commitment of $50,000,000, and your unfunded commitment will be $30,000,000. You have
received $10,000,000 in distributions, of which $5,000,000 is considered Recallable Capital per
Section 3.3 of the LPA. Please refer to the Schedule for further details.
Please wire your funds to:

The Fund is calling $75,000,000 for an investment in ABC Company. ABC is a manufacturer of
widgets located in Akron, Ohio and will use the capital to expand into the Canadian market. The
deal is expected to close on 2/15/2011, and is expected to consist of a total financing of
$150,000,000, with $15,000,000 coming from the Bank of Ohio in the form of a senior secured note
and the remaining $60,000,000 coming from investment partner Midwest Fund. Both the Fund and
the Midwest Fund will receive participating preferred stock with a 1x liquidation preference and a
cumulative 8% dividend. ABC Company has a TTM EBIDTA of $50,000,000 and a total enterprise
value (post money valuation) of $400,000,000. At the close of the transaction, the Fund will have a
total invested capital of $100,000,000 in ABC Company, including $25,000,000 of junior debt from a
prior round.

The Fund will incur $3,000,000 for Q1 Management Fees and other expenses. The Fund received
$1,000,000 in monitoring fees during the past quarter, of which 50% are offset against the called fee,
thus the net capital call for Management Fees is $2,500,000. Your calculations are presented in the
attached Schedule, and adhere to the terms of Section 8.1 of the LPA.


The Fund is distributing $40,000,000 in proceeds received from FGH Company, which was sold to
strategic buyer StratCo in an allcash transaction that closed on 12/15/2010. StratCo priced the
transaction at 5.5x TTM EBITDA, for a total cash sale price of $400,000,000. Additionally,
$80,000,000 was placed into escrow related to a potential earnout if FGH Company meets certain
milestones (the Funds portion could be up to $8,000,000). Including this distribution, the Funds
investment in FGH Company has returned 3.0x MOIC with an IRR of 25%. One third of this
amount is return of capital, and the remainder is an investment gain. Pursuant to the waterfall
outlined in Section 4.1(b) of the LPA, the GP has taken no carried interest on this deal.

The Fund is also distributing 500,000 common shares received from IJK Company, which went
public on the New York Stock Exchange on 11/15/2010. The shares are common stock, ticker
symbol IJK. The shares have a current value of $5,000,000, or $10/share, computed as defined in
Section 4.4(d) of the LPA as the average value over the last 10 trading days. The shares are governed
by a 6month lockup provision that expires on 5/15/2011. The settlement location for the shares is
CustodianCo, 123 Custodian Blvd, New York, NY, 10001, contact: John C. Doe at (212) 3213210,
jdoe@custodianco.com. The cost basis of the distributed shares is $4,000,000 or $8/share. Pursuant
to the waterfall outlined in Section 4.1(b) of the LPA, the GP has taken no carried interest on this
deal. The value does not affect the cash amounts listed above.
